To commemorate the life and work of Sindi Medar-Gould

It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Sindi Medar-Gould, a life-long feminist and women’s human rights activist. Sindi possessed a wonderful combination of passion and calm, and was often the ‘voice of reason’ and determination. Sindi was actively involved in Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) for a number of years, in particular as a trainer at our Feminist Leadership Institutes.

Sindi was the Executive Director of the Nigeria-based organization, BAOBAB, which grew out of WLUML’s ‘Women and Law’ program between 1993 and 1996. From this time BAOBAB has continued to be a key part of WLUML’s network.

Sindi dedicated her life to the women’s rights movement and worked relentlessly to attain gender justice and equality. Her commitment, hard work, and jovial nature inspired many that crossed her path and worked alongside her. Even with her passing, Sindi will continue to move and inspire us.
